Description
Overview of the Echo PB-8010T
The Echo PB-8010T
- Power: The Echo PB-8010T is a gas-powered leaf blower. It sports a max air speed of 211 MPH and a max air volume rating of 1071 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- Handling: As this unit is a backpack leaf blower, the majority of the unit is distributed so that the user can operate it with ease for most reasonable periods of use. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. However, for a gas-powered backpack blower, the Echo PB-8010T is heavier than most, weighing 24.5 lbs.
- Engine: This blower's engine has a displacement specification of 79.9 cc. As you may or may not know, 2-stroke engines require a mixture of gasoline and oil in order to keep all the moving parts lubricated while fuelling the engine’s internal combustion. The fuel/oil ratio recommended by Echo for the PB-8010T is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: Sometimes you just need a little more power, while other times you may want a little more precision when moving leaves and debris. That’s why the PB-8010T features variable speed settings for added control.
- Noise: As far as gas-powered backpack blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 79.3 dB.
- Fuel Tank: Its impressive 83.8 fl. oz. tank capacity puts it on the higher end of the spectrum of similar gas backpack blowers.

bought this blower last week and let me tell you the power is crazy but its more lighter thanks to the carbon fiber frame and its such a beast and I will say its powerful light and one thing wear hearing protection because its at 79 decibels and it has a metal wear ring witch is helpful 🙂 and the padding is really comfy and I have never had a back pack blower with a fan in it and its amazing will recommend this blower
I own Stihl everything.. except my backpack blower. This unit blows its competitors away. Im very impressed with its power. Fuel capacity is nice. Fan on my back is like sprinkles on the ice cream sundae.
I’ve used this blower for two seasons now. We live on a heavily wooded piece of property, and try to keep the two acres surrounding our house clear of leaves. I’ve owned a few blowers, and nothing beats the 8010T. Period. The power, air volume and dependability (minimal maintenance + one stroke start) can’t be beat. I’ve used this for spring and fall this year for eight hour days / one week at a time, and it simply makes short work out of big jobs. YOU MUST wear hearing protection. No way around it when you’re strapping a 79.9 cc two stroke motor to your shoulders.
Starts right up. Nice size gas tank. No other blower will move leaves and debris like this blower! NO OTHER!!! you will not be sorry you purchased this blower. I was always a Br600 Stihl fan not any more, its wimpy compared to this blower.
Most powerful backpack blower I’ve ever touched!
